Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What does Westley say when Buttercup finally confesses her love to him?

Answer: Nothing, he shuts the door in her face.

Poor Buttercup must have felt pretty rejected! Little did she know that Westley really had been waiting all those years just for her!
2. When Count Rugen comes to collect the special sword Domingo had made, who does Domingo say he is giving it to?

Answer: Inigo

This scene was touching because Domingo's last thoughts were of his son.
3. Just before Inigo and Fezzik enter the Zoo of Death, Inigo says "Then lets look on the bright side Fezzik; we _______," in order to ease Fezzik's troubled mind. (Fill in the blank)

Answer: are having an adventure

This was just one of my favorite lines because Inigo is right, most people do live and die without knowing what true adventure is, so it inspires me to look for adventure in everything I do!
4. Who is Buttercup extremely jealous of in the beginning?

Answer: Count Rugen's wife

Buttercup got jealous of Rugen's wife when she saw her go with Westley for a tour of the farm. This is also when she noticed how studly Westley really was.
5. What was Inigo instructed to do if he sustained a wound during a duel?

Answer: Cover it

By doing this Inigo lasted through the duel.
6. When the Brute Squad is trying to get Inigo out of the Thieves' Forest, why won't Inigo leave?

Answer: Because Vizzini told him to go there if something went wrong

Vizzini told Inigo and Fezzik that if a job went wrong, they were supposed to go back to the beginning, and the Thieves' Forrest was where they got the job, so it was the beginning for them. Vizzini was supposed to meet him there, but of course, he was dead.
7. In Morgenstern's original ending, a lot of bad things happened. Which of these did NOT happen in the original ending?

Answer: Buttercup fell off her horse and was dragged.

Actually, Buttercup's horse threw a shoe.
8. When Westley and Buttercup reunite in the honeymoon suite after Buttercup and Humperdick's wedding, what does Westley say to Buttercup?

Answer: "Dammit, woman! You are the property of the Dread Pirate Roberts!"

So, Westley wasn't always sensitive. Could he have been an effective Dread Pirate Roberts otherwise? I don't think so.
9. In the end, Westley and Buttercup vow to outlive each other. After Westley says, "I make that promise now," what does Buttercup reply?

Answer: "Oh, my Westley, so do I!"

This is the last line of the book before Morgenstern's "original" ending.
10. (This is from the movie, not the book, but I had to put it in anyway!) After Buttercup tells Humperdinck he is "nothing but a coward with a heart full of fear," what does he reply?

Answer: "I would not say such things if I were you!"

I had to put this one in there because it's one of my favorite lines to impersonate.
